U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Georgian Prime Minister Georgi Kvirikashvili, who is on an official visit to Georgia, signed a General Security of Information Agreement (GSOIA) on Tuesday, says the statement issued by the State Department.  

According to the source, the agreement represents a major milestone in security cooperation between the United States and Georgia. It establishes a legal foundation for bilateral intelligence sharing and will strengthen counterterrorism cooperation between the countries.
